Chapter 19 - 019: Why are you looking at me?
Jiang Baizhou turned around, walked down two steps, and looked back at Cen Jin in the semi-darkness. He noticed she was wearing white high heels, and with a light press of his lips, he slowly extended his hand to her. A rare hint of unease flickered across his handsome face hidden in the shadow.
Looking at the unexpectedly extended long hand, Cen Jin was momentarily stunned, her heart trembling slightly. A hint of surprise flashed in her clear eyes when she heard him say, "Not coming down?"
Cen Jin snapped back to reality, gazed at his hand that had been extended all along, hesitated for a few seconds, and gently placed her hand in his palm. A flow of warmth seeped into her cold palm, gradually spreading through her heart.
"Why is your hand so cold?" As her hand touched his, Jiang Baizhou was also startled, his brows knitting together immediately.
"Is it cold?" Upon hearing this, Cen Jin instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but Jiang Baizhou firmly held it.
"Cold." Jiang Baizhou averted his gaze, held her hand as they descended the stairs, and responded with a single word casually.
Cen Jin’s pupils slightly dilated. She looked at the large hand holding hers, her eyes filled with a trace of mirth.
After they went downstairs, Jiang Baizhou did not let go of her hand. He picked up his clothes that were left on the counter, pulled her out of the store, bent down to pick up an umbrella, hesitated for a moment, glanced back at her, then released her and opened the umbrella over her. "Have you eaten dinner?"
